In this new body of work, local artist and farmer Courtney Young digs into her and her family’s connection to farming, land, and land ownership. Young’s colourful, layered and textured paintings merge memories and stories of farms from her childhood as well as that of her own children. Young is interested in the culture and complex history of farming in Australia, its whiteness, and the dominating paradigm of property and possession.
